National Twenty Goal®

Tournament Information

The National Twenty Goal® was first played at the Royal Palm Polo Club in Boca Raton, Florida, in 2007. Won by Houston-based team BTA (Chrys Beal, Mariano Gonzalez, Francisco Lanusse, Santiago Trotz) in a narrow victory over Audi 13-12, the trophy then fell into abeyance until 2011. Resurrected by Grand Champions Polo Club in Wellington, Florida, the tournament has consistently fielded four to six competitive teams over the past six years. Audi has dominated the competition with three total wins, including back-to-back victories in 2012 and 2013 with an identical team (Marc Ganzi, Carlos Gracida Jr., Nic Roldan, Carlos Gracida). Four titles to his name, Nic Roldan holds the record for most National Twenty Goal tournament wins, including last year’s trophy with Flexjet. Defending champions Flexjet will once again vie to withhold their champion status, meanwhile powerhouse Audi are among the six teams slated for this year’s competition.
